Cork City’s night of champions

Cork City 1 Bray Wanderers 0

The club almost went out of existence during the 12 years which have passed since the last league title, and the game was nothing more than a sideshow, with the majority of the 5768 in attendance coming to party as captain Alan Bennett was awarded the trophy after the game.

Nobody can deny that John Caulfield’s side have been the best side in Ireland this season and his players got the reception they deserved before, during, and after last night’s game as the fans celebrated their club returning to the pinnacle of domestic football.
